Ever since its discovery, silver has always been a valuable metal. Its popularity has grown steadily throughout the ages as it possesses a unique ability to be able to keep up with the current fashions of the time. The most notable use of silver is its beauty and appeal as an item of jewellery. Silver has been used in jewellery since the ancient Byzantine, Phoenician and Egyptian empires.

Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing jewellery. Hence, the most popular form of silver today is sterling silver which is actually 92.5% silver. Sterling silver is popular because it is more durable than pure silver yet maintains its beauty. Silver is harder than gold, but softer than copper. Silver Jewellery is long lasting and very cheap as compared to white gold and platinum but is as good, if not better, in attractiveness and style.

Silver jewellery comes in a wide variety of styles and textures. The lustrous white color and malleability of this precious metal, and its widespread distribution have made silver a practical choice for jewellery adornment in diverse cultures. The usual silver seen on jewellery is usually highly polished and reflects light beautifully. However, silver also comes in a variety of finishes such as rhodium which gives it the characteristic of white gold with its silver but slightly darker finish.

In India, jewellery making has always remained a part and parcel of different cultures, playing an important role in different phases of history. Different regions of India have jewellery-making styles unique to them. Be it the fine filigree work from the states of Orrissa and Andhra Pradesh, the delicate art of enameling or meenakari from Jaipur or the famous Kundan setting of gemstones in gold from Delhi, India has always been the front runner in jewellery manufacturing.
